I've never had this problem, but a common complaint on this board (search the archives?) is similar messages to this. I've seen it about brake lights and tail lights, not sure about headlights.
The SID bulb warning is triggered by an imbalance in the resistance between the circuit to each headlamp. If you replace one bulb with a different brand than the other, a miniscule difference in resistance can generate the warning even when both bulbs are working. Even if you don't mix brand, I would think you could still generate this just from having an old and new bulb.
So, try replacing the other one with another Syvlania 9003. Note that many folks (not me) replace both headlights together as a matter of good preventive practice. Report back here with success or failure if you can.
